Recently, I've been looking around for a White Variation Sugar Glider, either a sterile or neutered male. Little did I know that I wouldn't end up with just one! I am incredibly excited! A few days ago, Priscilla Price, of 'The Pet Glider' offered me three White-Face Blonde sterile males. At first I was very hesitant, I didn't want to separate the brothers-but could I really take on three more Sugar Gliders? That would make seven gliders in total, seven mouths to feed, but, nonetheless, seven mouths to love. I had little experience with Priscilla or 'The Pet Glider', however, after reading some of the testimonials on her website and e-mailing with her-I am quite impressed! She has so many Sugar Gliders, yet, it is clearly apparent that she loves each and every one of them. Her gliders are not only beautiful, but they are known for their sweet dispositions. These three boys named Joel, John and Justin will be shipped to me on Saturday. I can honestly say, I can't wait to meet them! I have already picked out names too, I'm deciding between Diablo, Scooter, Aussie, Suggie, Gizmo and Bugsy. I guess I'll have to choose when I meet them, huh? They are too cute, I really hope they love me as their new 'glider mommy'! :) I am super excited and I'll definitely be posting to say how things go!!!

The Story of Mischief & Precious!
October 31st, 2008 was a very special evening at Sugar Shock! Sheila & Bandit's beautiful brother/sister twins were born. They were named Mischief & Precious since it was Halloween and the names just seemed to fit perfectly. Mischief is a Standard Gray/Black Beauty het and Precious is a Black Beauty/Standard Gray het. Mischief was known as 'sugar' because he was incredibly sweet from the very beginning. Precious was known as a crybaby, everything anybody did seemed to upset her. She was extremely 'face shy' and did not like anybody touching her face or making 'kissing noises' near her at all. We worked with her and rewarded her when she let us pet her, eventually she calmed down. The pair are now beautiful, friendly and happy. Mischief & Precious, now four months old, left for their new "forever home" yesterday evening. Best of luck to the Pike family and their new additions!

Meet My Sugar Glider Colony!
I would like to take the time to introduce you to my furry family, my Sugar Glider colony! I currently have four Sugar Gliders: Stella Luna, Bindi and Sheila all came from my friend, Mary Nord who is a breeder in my area. You can visit her website for more information. Http://www.flyingcritters.net
Stella Luna is my two years young, White-Face female. When I first got my Stella she wasn't very friendly. She would crab endlessly, lunge and bite at me nonstop. I carried her around in her bonding pouch each day and offered her treats. I was patient and showed her love-soon she came around to be one of the sweetest gliders I have ever seen!
Bindi is my two years young, Standard Gray female. This Sugar Glider does not have a bad bone in her entire body. Since the day I first brought her home, she has NEVER bitten. She is a curious glider and prefers to be running around as opposed to being cuddled up with. She is a very social sweetheart but seems to be quite shy with people.
Sheila is my two years young, Standard Gray female. She prefers to remain a 'wild child' as we've taken to calling her. She lets people pet her but doesn't like to be held. She's not very tame or bonded but we are working with her each day so that her temperment improves a bit. She is the mother of all of the precious little babies we see here. She is mated to Bandit and they form my only breeding pair at the moment.
Bandit is my two years young, Black Beauty intact male. He was extremely protective of 'his cage' and 'his girls' when we first brought him home. However, he has formed a very special bond with me. He was surrendered to me from a family close by. He is not a rescue, he was properly cared for-they just could no longer keep him. He is mated to Sheila and they have had four perfectly healthy joeys so far! :)
These four beautiful creatures make up my Sugar Glider colony. Each unique, distinctive personality is what makes my colony truly one of a kind!

Introduction
Hi everyone! My name is Lauren and welcome to my Wild ~N~ Free Forever, Sugar Shock! Blog! Wild ~N~ Free Forever is an association that I founded, it consists of animal-lovers who work determinedly to accomplish everything in their power so that we can make this world a better place for the animals. Whether our task is as simple as notifying the SPCA if we see something odd happening, or donating money/items to shelters and animal caretakers who need it...our only goal is to see that the occurrence of animal abuse is significantly decreased. We are not a shelter and we do not directly deal with rescues. If you are interested in adopting or fostering a rescued animal please let me know and I will direct you to somebody who works with rescued animals.
Sugar Shock! Is my own small-scale, personal Sugar Glider breeding colony. We were founded in May of 2007 after two years of extensive research on Sugar Gliders and their care. We currently have four permanent Sugar Glider residents, which consists of one breeding pair and two of my own personal non-breeding pet gliders. Stella Luna, Bindi and Sheila came to me in May of 2007. They were the first gliders I purchased and I love them all dearly. Bandit, my breeding male was purchased in April of 2008 as an addition to my colony and now, he is Sheila's mate. I will post more about each of my beautiful gliders in later blog entries.
If you have any questions, comments or criticism please do not hesitate, you can contact me at Nion39@bellsouth.net and I will get back to you within 24 hours. Please forward all e-mails to my secondary e-mail account, Fallen_Angel4u2@hotmail.com
